The Autorickshaw-Wonder Transport

Bajaj Auto has survived on a unique product, in addition to its two-wheelers. Autorickshaw, is what it is called in India, and it is a soft-topped three-wheeler that is ubiquitous on our roads. Also known as a tuk-tuk in some other countries, in a similar form. You can see one on the left, in this pic.



This is a unique vehicle, that runs as a cheaper taxi (than the four-wheeled ones). Its uniqueness is in the fact that it is able to negotiate the twists and turns of Indian roads easily, and go into the bylanes of any town without blinking. It runs on petrol, LPG or CNG, though larger variants use diesel and are not as elegant.

We in India have grown up using the autorickshaw to go everywhere, if buses were not available. It can also fit in a large amount of luggage, so going to and from the railway station is a cinch. The driver of this contraption is also unique, and can improve your negotiation skills. He is a born trainer of these skills in some cities, and can change your mood based on his nod or refusal to take you places.

All in all, we can't do without this auto!
